Pursuant to the answer to Question 185590 on A303 and Lower Thames Crossing: Private Finance Initiative, private finance will not be used for the upgrade of the A303 and the Lower Thames Crossing.<\/p>

<\/p>

The estimated cost of developing and building the Lower Thames Crossing, as set out in Highways England\u2019s public consultation on 10 October 2018, was between £5.3bn and £6.8 bn. The estimated cost of developing and building the A303 Stonehenge scheme, as set out at the Preferred Route Announcement in September 2017, was £1.6bn.<\/p>

The government is not planning to introduce any software for taxpayers as part of the introduction of Making Tax Digital (MTD). Instead, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is working closely with third party software developers, giving them the support they need to design and develop products that will enable taxpayers to comply quickly, easily and securely with their MTD obligations.<\/p>

<\/p>

The eligibility criteria for free software under MTD is set out in Annex C of the document covering the relationship between HMRC and software developers.<\/p>

On 1 April 2014, regulation of the consumer credit market, including payday lenders, was transferred to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government legislated to require the FCA to introduce a cap on the cost of payday loans, which came into force on 2 January 2015. The FCA published a feedback statement in July 2017, showing that the price cap has been effective, leading to savings of approximately £150 million for 760,000 individuals using payday loans each year.<\/p>

HMRC estimates that VAT receipts from the sale of women\u2019s sanitary products were approximately £15 million in each of the last five years. The Government does not anticipate any significant change in the foreseeable future. The exchequer cost of introducing a zero rate of VAT for women\u2019s sanitary products would therefore be approximately £15 million per year.<\/p>

In January 2018, the European Commission brought forward a legislative proposal with an implementation date of 2022 to enhance Member States\u2019 flexibility to apply reduced and zero rates of VAT.
